“Jenn did a great job of handling a challenging situation with one of my cats while I was away. Her clear communication and photos were so helpful. I appreciate her understanding, capable, and confident care of my cats. Thanks again Jenn!”
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life - growing up with family dogs, adopting my own dog after college, and subsequently acquiring two cats (through the cat distribution system, of course!). For the last two years, I have worked part-time as a dog-walker for a local professional company in Winston-Salem, NC. In addition, I have done house-sitting for friends and family while away, taking care of dogs, cats, fish, and plants! I am currently working part-time from home, with very flexible hours, leaving lots of room to provide love and attention to your pets while you're away! I have experience providing very detailed care to many different clients, from measuring ounces of water being given, to wearing shoe covers to keep a house clean, to waving a cat toy *just right* to entice a cat out of hiding! I pride myself on providing the best care, and EXACTLY what your pets need while you're away.
“Carine was wonderful and my kitties warmed right up to her. She brought her daughter when she was available so the kitties got extra attention twice a day for the long weekend. My kitties still sit by the front door wondering when their new friends will be back💕”
“Lindsey and her daughters did a fantastic job with our cat, Nova! Nova really enjoyed the extra company. Lindsey was reliable, trustworthy, and it’s the first time she hasn’t been anxious when we’ve been gone!”
About: Pets make life better! They are family. If they behave well, they should be spoiled! I have always had dogs. I grew with up with dogs and now I have my own. I have never owned a cat because my mom is allergic, but I really enjoy them! I care for my friends two cats frequently. I love caring for, playing, and walking animals! I love getting outside to walk. I also love playing fetch and tug of war. I also enjoy playing with feather or ribbon cat toys! I am good with any age animal. They all need love and attention! My dog is 2, so I have been through the puppy stage recently. He has a lot of energy so I know how much exercise dogs need.
“Adelaide was great at communicating and wrote a very detailed report about her visit with our pups. When a problem arose she promptly communicated and found a solution. We loved the photos she sent and will gladly have her back!”
“Our three dogs had a great visit from Lexi! She fed them, let them outside and played with them and sent us great photos and a video. We felt very assured leaving Lexi in charge of our crew and we returned home to three very happy pups! We'll definitely be booking Lexi for future dates. Thank you!”
“Desiree completed multiple drop-in visits (2x daily) during a week-long vacation for my two senior cats. Mr. Twix is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. Desiree was happy to stop over ahead of the trip to go over insulin and daily routines. I asked for photo updates and Desiree was happy to share! She graciously cleaned one poo mess and even helped reset the fuse box when the cat fountain stopped working. Twix and Butters were calm and happy when I arrived home. I felt comfortable on my trip knowing the kids were getting love in my absence!”
About: I’ve had and helped care for pets my entire life! From dogs and cats to guinea pigs and horses, I’ve always loved being around and caring for animals of all kinds. I’m familiar with the needs of cats and dogs of all ages and am dedicated to providing reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I just graduated from high school this past school year and will be commuting to school starting in September. I only have a few classes each weekday, so I should still be available to care for your pets around my schedule! I am also very flexible and should be able to meet the needs of almost any pet parent! In my experience, every home is run differently, and every pet sitting job is unique, so I always follow the pet parent’s schedule and instructions. I pay great attention to detail and am responsible with timelines for tasks.
“I had a lot of anxiety leaving my older cat home after recently being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Vanessa went about and beyond at each visit. She sent pictures and loved one our cats. When we arrived home I could tell the cats were calm and well taken care of. 100% will be re booking with Vanessa. Thank you!! 🙌”
About: Hello! I'm Tina. I live in Waconia, and I'm looking to care for your dogs, for walks, quiet snuggles, or just a good run around the back yard. I've been lucky to have had 3 dogs in my life, and 20+ years of playtime, laughs, and bonding with my "kids" as I call them. I currently have a 16 year old shih tzu/mix who is my baby. In the past, I've taken care of one of my dogs, who had many health issues, so I'm experienced with senior or special needs animals. I've administered meds (pills), spent many days at the vet, and am very sensitive to ill animals and senior animals who just want to rest or have low key play. I have experience with puppies as well who are looking to just have fun! I'm very responsible and dedicated to my animals, and would be the same with yours. Give me a try! =) Right now my schedule is open availability, so I'll have plenty of time to devote to your animal and their needs. I have availability on weekends as well, but that can change by the week. I have an unfenced yard and one senior little ole lady shih tzu who is extremely low maintenance and very sweet. She has free range of the house, but I do crate her when I'm away from home for periods of time.
About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats, so I've been around pets my entire life and have experience with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and behaviors. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life, and I've learned how important patience, consistency, and attention are to keeping pets happy and comfortable. I've also pet sat for friends and family on multiple occasions, and they continue to rely on me to care for their pets when they're away. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also have a dog named Maylo, who has taught me even more about the responsibility and commitment that comes with being a pet owner. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and my goal is always to provide loving, dependable care so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule during some days! I do have work and classes during certain parts of the week, but outside of those scheduled commitments, I’m generally available and happy to accommodate your pets’ routine as much as I can. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly beforehand and make sure your pups get plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away! :) I do not offer my home as a stay because I currently have a dog, and he doesn’t get along with other dogs but I’m happy to stay at the owners home! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment I arrive to their house, I understand that’s THEIR space and I’m a guest. I take care of them just like I would like my little Maylo (my dog) to be taken care of. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions their owner provides. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to understand their personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys being active or prefers to cuddle and relax, I'll make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve while you're away.
“Paige is incredible! She took such good care of my kitties and I had zero concerns being away from them. She was great with bringing in packages so they would not sit out all week. She played with the kitties, gave them lots of attention, and kept me updated every step of the way! I will for sure use Paige again to watch my kitties and highly recommend her for anyone else looking for a kind, caring, communicative, and all around amazing kitty sitter!”
About: I have a dog of my own, MinnieBean. She is a Portuguese Water Dog and is a bundle of joy. She’s quite shy around hoomans but loves other dogs :). I have had 8 great years looking after 2 dogs from a family I work for, and other dogs in between. I will make sure to feed, play and take out your fur baby when needed and make their comfort and happiness my priority. I have also administered medication too if needed. I do require a meet and greet first to make sure my service will be a good fit for both of us. I also have a toddler, so if the service will be in my home, they need to be great around kids :). I have confidence that you will feel comfortable and happy in leaving your pet in my hands. I will always care for and be responsible for any pet, in or out of my home. Oh, and I always love some cuddles too :) I am a stay at home mum, so I will be available pretty much most of the time, however, I do require your dog is kid friendly. I can easily crate your dog if needed or leave them where you tell me to when finishing the service. I will make sure water is available also if needed.
About: i love giving the best care to animals! all animals deserve the very best care in every way if that’s long walks or one on one time! best times i’m free is during the week after work around 5:30 and anytime after! on weekends it really depends i’m usually out of town! I love caring for all animals i make sure they get a good walk in, spending one on one time, fresh water 2-3 times a day and making sure they get all the food the clients provides

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
